The benefits of flaxseed oil for weight loss
First of all, the benefits of the discussed oil for weight loss and in general for human health are explained by its unique composition. It includes a complex of polyunsaturated fatty acids (including Omega 3 and 6), which accelerate the process of burning fat. The most interesting thing is that their action continues even during rest and sleep, losing weight.
Oil is able to break down fat into two components. This is water and glycerin, which is not deposited in the body, and, therefore, is quickly eliminated from it. Also, the product relieves the body of toxins, waste and other contaminants. All this (and especially - bowel cleansing) contributes to active weight loss.
In addition, this oil contains a huge amount of vitamins and minerals that support the condition of the skin, hair, nails in perfect condition.
How to choose flax oil?
The easiest way is to use linseed oil, which is immediately produced in the form of capsules. In pharmacies, it is sold in convenient jars. Capsules are packaged in an amount of 30 to 120 pieces. But you can choose a product in ordinary bottles.
In this case, in order to get a really high-quality product, you need to pay attention to the following properties:
- The oil must be poured into glass containers in which it is capable of being stored for a long time.
- In general, the liquid is clear. Only minimal turbidity is allowed. The sediment at the bottom of the tank is present in small quantities.
- The best is oil obtained by cold pressing. Thus, ripened flax seeds are processed.
- The color of high-quality linseed oil is tan.
- The liquid should not contain any impurities.
- It is best to purchase fresh oil. If more than a year has already passed since its manufacture, it is better to look for another product of a later filling. If the liquid smells too harsh and repulsive, most likely it is expired.
When choosing oil capsules, first of all, you need to pay attention to the presence of detailed instructions for use in the box with the product. The price is also important. If a large package of a product costs less than 130 rubles, it is most likely of poor quality. Bottled oil at a price below 110 rubles per liter is usually diluted with a sunflower component in order to save.
Rules for taking linseed oil for weight loss
Each losing weight decides how to use the product in question. It is allowed to drink linseed oil in its pure form, and add it to various dishes.
The benefits of both options will be the same if you observe the following rules:
- Do not heat the liquid. After heating, the product will lose its beneficial properties. Therefore, it is so important when adding liquid to any dish to wait for it to cool. When taken in its pure form, do not drink the oil with hot or even warm drinks.
- It is also forbidden to freeze the product in order to increase its shelf life. The result of freezing is the appearance of dangerous carcinogenic compounds in the liquid.
- Do not be too zealous with the use of linseed oil. If you regularly greatly exceed its recommended daily allowance, you can completely harm your health.

1 Week
For the first seven days every day from an early morning until breakfast (20 minutes) a teaspoon of oil is drunk. After 10 minutes, it is washed down with a glass of slightly warm clean water.
